With the long weekend I was able to get a lot of training done and feel very good about the progress I am making towards my triathlons and other races/events. Starting with Friday I have gone Biking, swimming, 1-hr of stretching, hiking, biking again, running, 1-hr of resistance work, and lastly this afternoon went swimming again. I had planned to do a great swim-bike-run workout yesterday, but alas when I got to the Y (after a 20 min. bike) it was closed for the holiday. So I rode home and finished my workout without the swim portion. The biking wasn’t long, but there are a couple of pretty hefty hills between my house and the Y. For the rest of the week, I’ve got light training planned. I’ll run tomorrow, but then Thursday will be my day off since I have softball that evening and I don’t want to wear myself out before that. Friday I’ll do a morning resistance workout, and then Saturday a swim and run workout saving my biking for Sunday and the Elephant Rock bicycle ride!!

Three weeks till the big race!!

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, been pretty busy with traveling for work. Training is going well and I am pretty happy with the 5 mile race in the Garden of the Gods that I ran in. I completed it in just under 48 minutes which put my pace at around 9.5 minutes per mile. That is not going to set any speed records, but since I haven't participated in any type of racing since high school, I am definitely happy with it. In about one week, I'll be doing a 50 mile bike ride in the Castle Rock area called the Elephant Rock Charity ride. I'm sure that willl be a blast as well, plus I got a cycling jersey out of it that is pretty sweet. I'll definitely post a pic of that after the event.

Later!
